Avid readers of the commits list will have noticed an impressive number of commits rolling in from Hannes Janetzek, author of the Everything launcher who is currently in absentia working on his doctorate, and Massimo Maiurana, captain of the translation team who probably eats bricks of bran for breakfast to complement his usual stellar performance in getting changes pushed from the internationalization team. They’ve both been putting in a lot more hours than usual lately to ensure that things got polished up in time for release, and it shows with the last-minute bug fixes and translation updates.

It’s Tuesday, and that means it’s Release Day! Today’s release is OMEGA 12, also known as the E17 release candidate. It contains a number of bug fixes, and I highly recommend it.

In addition, I have a special treat for all the readers out there. For the first time ever, an external module for E17 has been released! Yes, friends, it’s true. Today marks the first release (v1) of Echievements: achievements for E17. That’s right, it’s something completely useless aside from testing the recently releasedEtrophy library. It does track and notify you of your achievements in real-time, however, which I think is pretty neat.

3 DAYS REMAIN

Sooo I wrote up part of this on Friday and then forgot to post it. Whoops. Double post today! Then again, since I spent the entire day working on a single issue it’s not actually any longer than usual.

Fileman used to refresh the current directory when ending a DND operation; this was a workaround for a bug (which is now fixed) where icons would sometimes fail to reappear after the drag. Now we just let the file monitors handle the updating.

I guess over the years nobody noticed that you couldn’t drag files onto the icon of a removable device regardless of its mount state. Such as it was, today I discovered that this was a project which would take me 6 hours to safely implement. Fuck DND.
